Show me one attractive site you have made with notepad. Why make things much more compilcated than they have to be. HTML is such a useless language that whats the point of learning it. I could make a web site with notepad but could i make it attractive ? no thats why i use dreamweaver. Drag and drop is much more simpler than <img src="blahblah.jpg" width="xxx" height="xx">
You start with learning HTML, than you can advance fro that too say .asp and tha .php.
I havent made a site in a long time and I have been messing around with it trying to make a nice double navigation bar, but it keeps pushing it out of place. The whole point is too learn new skills, not use acheap ass program. DW is actually very limited, but a n00b wouldn't know that.
i did HTML for 2 years using notepad, i got soo used to it, and after i tried Dw for like 3 months, i went Fuck this, and when i went back to NotePad i forgot almost everything i learnt.. DW-NooBified
